Seismic Response Characteristics of the Main Building of Bongjeong Temple

봉정사 대응전의 지진응답 특성

For the identification of the 3 dimensional dynamic characteristics of the Bongjeong Temple, the dynamic test for 1/3 scaled model was performed. Dynamic test with impulse excitation and vibration table excitation can provide useful data for the estimation of dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies, damping ratios, mode shapes and stiffness center. This will complement the previous research from the 2-dimensional static test and provide the reference data for the enhanced structural analysis of the traditional wooden structures.
